Twitter is confident Bill Lazor is calling plays for Bears, not Matt Nagy

The Chicago Bears look like a completely different offense from a week ago. Sure, they were playing a better defense in the Cleveland Browns. But it’s been more than that. There’s been a rhythm on offense not present since late last season.

While Bears head coach Matt Nagy refused to say who would be calling plays against the Lions, it’s clear to Bears fans and football observers that this  is not a Matt Nagy offense. It looks like it’s Bears offensive coordinator Bill Lazor calling plays.

Chicago’s offense looked impressive in the first half, scoring on their first two drives of the game. There’s been a nice balance of run and pass, where rookie quarterback Justin Fields has been given chances to go deep with the ball, including a beautiful 64-yard pass to receiver Darnell Mooney. Heck, running back David Montgomery even got 15 carries — in the first half.

Safe to say Lazor has been a success early.
